Meet our Go Forth pioneers for 2012. These individuals have followed their hearts and pursued their dreams in their respective fields. They’ve gone against the grain and have broken through to receive the recognition that they deserve for their success.

But their success has not come easy. They’ve had to make sacrifices and have worked hard to see their dreams come true. The common thread that binds them is the desire to do more with their lives. They have hardly started. And neither have you.

Each of our Go Forth pioneers has an amazing story to

inspire you with. We’ve collected their stories in our Dressed With Intent lookbook, with stunning photography done by Joshua Chay of The Spacemen You can also gain a unique insight into our project with The Spacemen’s Dressed With Intent videos produced in collaboration with Larry Chew and Jeremy Teo.

So ask yourself this. Every morning, before you head out the door, are you dressed for success? Or are you dressed to impress? Are you truly Dressed With Intent?

Go Forth.

The Spacemen are Joshua Chay and Chris Lim: Two guys who are making waves in the photography and videography scene. Learn more about them here.
